Slip Or Trip At The Gym

If you have been in a slip or trip at the gym or leisure centre, you may be able to make a personal injury compensation claim. These businesses have a duty of care towards their customers and are required to take out public liability insurance in case a member of the public injures themselves on their premises

The risk of a slip or trip is heightened when people are at the gym.

–          Football pitches, squash courts, tennis courts and other sports facilities see people running around at high speed, and uneven floors can easily lead to a foreseeable personal injury.

–          Swimming pools can have wet areas with no warning signs, and might not have a qualified lifeguard present if an accident occurs.

–          Gyms can have sweaty, slippery pieces of equipment, or even carpeting, and a fall into gym equipment can cause serious personal injuries.

–          People can slip on treadmills and other gym equipment if they have not been given adequate instruction about safe use of the machinery

If you have been in a slip or trip at the gym or leisure centre:

–          Inform the business and ensure that the accident is recorded

–          Visit a doctor and have your injuries assessed and treated

–          If possible, record any evidence of the failings that led to the accident, such as photographs of the area it occurred and where you slipped.

–          If possible, record the details of any witnesses to the accident

–          Keep a record of any expenses you face as a result of your injury

–          Speak to the personal injury solicitors at Clearwater Solicitors
